He really shouldn’t have hit Mu Xiaoxiao without any distinction of right and wrong.
Realizing this, Mu Baicheng immediately blamed himself and hastily pulled up Mu Xiaoxiao from the ground, "Xiaoxiao I’m sorry, I was just too anxious just now. Can you forgive Daddy, please?"
Seeing her son like this, Old Lady Mu sighed with relief; she had truly been afraid they wouldn’t be able to reconcile.
She never expected her son to not have the slightest doubt about her words.
Humph!
That cheap woman Lin Guixiang actually thinks she can compete with her?
Simply a pipe dream.
Mu Xiaoxiao harshly shook off Mu Baicheng’s hand and glared at him furiously, "I hate you!"
Just the thought of Mu Baicheng hitting her for another woman made Mu Xiaoxiao unbearably upset.
Why?
Was she, as a daughter, really less important in Mu Baicheng heart than Lin Guixiang, an outsider?
Old Lady Mu narrowed her eyes and immediately grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand, shielding her behind herself, "Chengcheng, this time Xiaoxiao has every right not to forgive you! If I were in her place, I wouldn’t be able to forgive you either. We’re a family, why couldn’t you have spoken nicely? Why did you start to resort to violence to solve problems?"
Old Lady Mu added, "Do you know ever since you met Lin Guixiang, you’ve changed! You’ve become more and more of a stranger. I remember you weren’t like this before."
The Mu Baicheng of the past would never resort to violence, let alone hit Mu Xiaoxiao.
But now...
Just the thought of Lin Guixiang made Old Lady Mu seething with anger.
It was all because of her.
If not for her, why would her son have changed so drastically?
She’s nothing but a calamity.
Whichever man marries this kind of woman will be cursed with bad luck.
Mu Baicheng hung his head, the more he listened, the worse he felt, the more he blamed himself; he felt he was neither a good son nor a good father...
If only he had allowed his daughter to explain today, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
His daughter was pitiable enough for having grown up without a mother, and he had even hit her...
Just the thought of having laid hands on Mu Xiaoxiao made Mu Baicheng feel utterly cold and full of regret.
If he could turn back time, he certainly wouldn’t have been so impulsive.
Unfortunately.
In this world, there is a cure for everything.
Except for regret.
It took a long while before Mu Baicheng came to his senses, took a deep breath, "Mom, I realize my mistake now. I didn’t handle this matter well, please give me a chance to make it up to Xiaoxiao."
Hearing her son admit his fault, Old Lady Mu finally felt satisfied. She smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, are you willing to give your dad a chance to turn over a new leaf?"
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head to look at Mu Baicheng, "You are my dad, after all, and even if the bones are broken, the sinews are still connected. As a daughter, no matter what happens, I couldn’t possibly disown you. I won’t stop you from pursuing love and your personal happiness, because that’s your freedom! But can you please maintain some sense of reason while pursuing these things and not just believe whatever people say?"
At this point, Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "I admit that Aunt Lin is very excellent, but you are a very excellent person too. Can you not be so inferior in front of her?"
Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to psychologically manipulate Mu Baicheng.
She had studied psychology for a while in Country P. Her teacher said that psychological oppression could turn a very confident person into an increasingly insecure one.
As a daughter, Mu Xiaoxiao wished to help her father see the real face of Lin Guixiang sooner, to prevent him from being deceived.
Mu Baicheng was like a child who had made a mistake, "Xiaoxiao, Daddy has taken note."
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, "Dad, let’s just let this matter go then. I’ll pretend I had a dream today."
At these words, Mu Baicheng’s eyes reddened, "Xiaoxiao, thank you for forgiving Daddy..."
"Dad, don’t blame yourself anymore," Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and hugged her father, "After all, they do say that a person in love has an IQ of zero."
Old Lady Mu said cheerfully, "Seeing you and your daughter reconcile makes me feel at ease."
After speaking, Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Baicheng and added, "By the way, Baicheng, how do you plan to handle your situation with Lin Guixiang?"
"Mom, about that matter, I will explain it properly to Ah Xiang, and then I’ll bring her to visit you in the hospital." Lin Guixiang is sensible, and as long as he explained things clearly, she would definitely understand him.
Old Lady Mu nodded, "I hope she can be receptive."
"Don’t worry, Mom, Ah Xiang will definitely understand," Mu Baicheng stated confidently.
Old Lady Mu narrowed her eyes, "Let’s talk about this later. First, take Xiaoxiao to register and get some medicine; we can’t afford to leave scars on a girl’s face."
